# Online ordering for Southwark takeaways
Short answer: Southwark has 625 takeaways on the FSA register, the second most in London, and the hygiene ratings are well above the London average. One in three is in SE1, with Peckham and Bermondsey next. In a borough where a 5 is normal, the way to win the order is speed, a clear menu and a price without a marketplace's commission built in.
A high bar on hygiene
Only 14 rated takeaways in the whole borough have a 0, 1 or 2. When almost everyone nearby has a 4 or 5, a 5 alone won't win the order. A 3 stands out for the wrong reasons, though. If you're on a 3, ask the council's food team about a re-rating visit before you push online orders hard.
North and south Southwark are different markets
SE1 (208): Borough, Bankside, London Bridge, Elephant and Castle. Tourists, offices and new flats. Lunchtime collection is big, and evening delivery goes to tower blocks with concierge desks. Ask for flat and floor at checkout.
SE15 (117): Peckham, Nunhead. Late, busy and price-aware. Pizza (42 by name boroughwide) and chicken shops (39) are the biggest named groups in Southwark, and they cluster along Rye Lane and Peckham High Street. Name-based estimate.
SE16 (110): Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, Canada Water. Riverside flats, with routes squeezed by the Rotherhithe peninsula. Families and bigger weekend baskets.
SE5, SE17 and SE22 (52, 48 and 36): Camberwell, Walworth, East Dulwich. Residential south, with steady weeknight demand.
Delivery zones from SE1 to SE22
The borough runs about five miles from the river to Dulwich, but 93.4% of takeaways sit within 2 miles of the centre point. The A2 Old Kent Road, the Elephant roundabouts and Jamaica Road add time to short distances.
- Keep a tight, low-fee zone around your own district.
- Treat SE1 to SE22 as a separate, higher-minimum zone in either direction.
- Don't promise north of the river: London Bridge and Tower Bridge traffic will cost you the order.
Each delivery zone has its own fee, minimum and time, and postcodes outside them can't check out.
Price

One plan at £39 a month per location, ex VAT: ordering website, your own branded app (Android & iOS), EPOS till, kitchen screen, SMS and email marketing (GDPR compliant) and loyalty rewards. 0% commission ever, no setup fee, free migration and one month free.
